I did the upgrade. I checked leanfront and mythfrontend. I did not see 
any problems with playback. I played parts of a few recordings with 
mythfrontend and did some skip forward and back. I watched for a half 
hour with leanfront.

I do not have any mpeg-2 recordings. They are all h264. Perhaps mpeg2 is 
the issue.
